[Wien] WIEN2k workshop 2009

[Peter Blaha]

The WIEN2k Development Team and the Materials Simulation Center
at Penn State are happy to announce:

WIEN2009: The 16th Hands on Workshop on the WIEN2k package

June 23-26 2009, Penn State University, University Park, PA, USA

The forth US workshop on the WIEN code (16th in the history of the WIEN code)
is a hands-on activity dedicated to teach the use of the WIEN2k Density
Functional Theory Package. WIEN2k is one of the most popular electronic
structure codes used to perform calculations with the Full Potential LAPW
method. The workshop is a unique opportunity to learn the use, power and
limitations of the package with the tutoring of the authors and developers
of the code. The activities will be aimed at graduate students and researchers
from industry and academia. The only pre-requisite is to have a basic knowledge
of solid state physics, and chemistry. It is planned as a four-day activity
with lectures on the scientific aspects of the method, applications, hand-on
activities on selected examples, and the opportunity to receive a head start
on a personal project.

This year the participation is limited to 40 people.

The confirmed invited speakes list includes:
-Prof. C. Ambrosch-Draxl
-Prof. P. Blaha
-Prof. K. Schwarz

Chair: Prof. J. O. Sofo
